Best Cabin Camping near Palmer Lake, CO

Best of both worlds! We had a great tent spot up on the hill with a great view of the valley behind. So it was a quiet tent spot to ourself, but 30 seconds down the hill foe access to the amazing restroom and showers! Also the laundry facilities were fantastic. The pool and hot tub were fantastic in the hot days. The staff was very nice!

Close to all the sites.

What a great looking KOA with a water park and tons of amenitites and activities! Unfortunately the outwards looks can be deceptive. Up close almost everything was broken and undermaintained. Wifi worked for a few hours our first day, never working again. The splash pad and pool were filthy with brown water collecting in low points and so many things floating in it and none NONE of the accessory interactive features like the water shooters or fun parts for little kids. The hot tub was closed. The jump pad had more than half of the tie down points disconnected, but was open for use most of the time. The bubbles platform was closed and none of the horshoe, cornhole, or other areas had their items out for use. Occasionally staff would come out and throw 2 liter bottles of soda pop at the kids, which was both unhealthy and kind of bizarre. They offered games and prizes inside their recration hall, which I think we can just call a Covid transfer room full of unvaccinated kids from hotspot states. 

The rv pad was actually rather nice with a good patch of weeds between campsites, table, and working water, power, and sewer hookups.

Cabins available and horse rings/stables available all over. Reservations needed.

We stayed in one of the tiny cabins, and it's adorable and so warm even when it was snowing. The alpacas and llamas are hilarious and cute. Definitely recommend a visit

Looking at the website from the link on The Dyrt, there's no mention of RV sites, just Glamping cabins, etc. UPDATE: I'm headed to Canon City area so I'll check out this campground to verify.

RV full hookup sites available, as well as cabin and tent sites. Dump station and outdoor sinks if needed. Pool, fishing lake and kids play area. Video game room. Free WiFi. No cable hookup. Just off highway, so slightly noisy without A/C.

Camped in a cabin which was clean. I will camp here again!!

Note: If the GPS takes you to a dirt road with a closed gate at the end, get back on the highway and take the next exit to the park entrance.

Nice campsite with a lot going on. Fun for kids with pool and slides as well as a lot of activities created by the staff for kids. Right by a riverside with scenic walks. Campsites are clean and quiet at night. Cabins available with an outdoor kitchen area. Sites are expanding along the river in future.

As we struggled to find a place we stumbled on lone duck. We are glad we did, they were friendly and clean. We got one of the cabins and bought some firewood which was perfectly seasoned and burned excellent. We even had a visit from a family of deer. Definitely recommended. They also serve breakfast and have an amazing old school arcade in the back.

We brought the whole family here and had a great time but the train comes by ALOT all day and night so that kept me up but my daughter slept through it - maybe a camp site higher in the hill would have been better The water in the water park was cold! Kid pool was fine - about 80 degrees. Water slides about 70 degrees but could be because it was opened a week earlier then usual. But still fun. I would recommend a pull though if you have a bigger rig as the spots by the cabins are kind of hard to get Into due to weird angles and cars and gold carts in front All in all we would return - staff was super friendly. Lots of activities for the family and I would recommend the golf cart to get around the park is huge!

I was recommended this spot for a stay by another traveler so I was very excited to have Garden of the Gods in my backyard to say the least as it's name boasted. I drove in and as I started to see the signs I was more and more excited, only to find out that this campsite offers literally every kind of stay but tent camping.

When I went to check into the office I was met by a very nice woman who had to break the news to me. I think she could tell that I was disappointed after seeing the amenities which included an amazing looking pool, which would have been perfect for my weary self after all my driving.

But because she could see it written all over my face she pointed me in the direction of another campsite which would be perfect for me for the night and gave me a few little tips on the area as well including telling me about the backstory of Garden of the Gods which is pretty amazing.

She gave me more than a few brochures for the area before I finally walked out the door and offered me a discount if I decided I wanted to try out one of their cabins on my next stay!! Excellent customer service so needless to say if I am in Colorado Springs in the near future I will stop here! Sometimes the only downside I find to tent camping is missing out on the opportunity to stay at some of these amazing sites with such welcoming people.

Because of her tip however I was very close to Garden of the Gods and was able to explore it and make it to camp with plenty of time to spare!

Spacious spots with full hookups. There’s a park entrance fee in addition to the spot rental. Park entrance fee is available to purchase via an automated kiosk.

This was only a 15 min drive from our house, right off the highway! Campsites we’re clean and numbered but very close together with no trees to separate you from your neighbor. They have a nice lake for swimming (gravel beach) with paddle board, kayak, and paddle boat rentals. We did the paddle boards for $20 an hour (seemed a little high for an hour) but it was so much fun! The view of Red Rocks was a treat!

One other note, most of Colorado has a fire ban because of the lack of rain and wildfires. We were able to still have a fire, which is a MUST for camping :) but still be careful of course!

Enjoy!
